'Beau Travail' Director: Claire Denis (1999) Criterion Collection Blu-ray | 4K restoration | French w/ English subtitles
With her ravishingly sensual take on Herman Melville’s Billy Budd, Sailor, Claire Denis firmly established herself as one of the great visual tone poets of our time. Amid the azure waters and sunbaked desert landscapes of Djibouti, a French Foreign Legion sergeant sows the seeds of his own ruin as his obsession with a striking young recruit plays out to the thunderous, operatic strains of Benjamin Britten.
Special features include:
- Conversation between Denis and filmmaker Barry Jenkins
- Selected-scene commentary with cinematographer Agnès Godard
- Interviews with actors Denis Lavant and Grégoire Colin
- Video essay by film scholar Judith Mayne
- Essay by critic Girish Shambu
